Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 3 of 33

B. Exclusive Jurisdiction; Venue; Core Proceeding (28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b)(2) and 1334(a)). The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, dated as of February 29, 2012. Approval of the Plan is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b), and the Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction to enter a Final Order with respect thereto. Venue is proper before the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. The Debtors are eligible debtors under section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code and are proper plan proponents under section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

C. Findings Regarding the Debtors. The Debtors have been duly incorporated or formed under the laws of the jurisdictions in which they are organized. Each is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which it has been incorporated and is registered and/or authorized to do business in the jurisdictions in which such authorization is necessary for the implementation, effectuation, and consummation of the Plan. As debtors-in-possession, the management of the Debtors, including but not limited to its board of directors and officers, are and were duly authorized and empowered to take any and all such actions contemplated by and giving rise to the Plan. Each action, agreement, and transaction contemplated by the Plan and this Confirmation Order, and all related actions, agreements, and transactions necessary to implement, effectuate, and confirm the Plan are authorized and lawful. The Debtors, acting by and through their directors, officers, or managers, are duly authorized and empowered to take any and all such actions as any of these may determine are necessary or appropriate to implement, effectuate, and consummate any and all documents or transactions contemplated by the Plan or this Confirmation Order. The Debtors have been duly authorized, or are empowered to duly authorize, each of the acts, documents, agreements, and transactions contemplated in the Plan and this Confirmation Order to implement, effect, and consummate the Plan.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 4 of 33

D. Judicial Notice. The Bankruptcy Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases maintained by the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, including all pleadings and other documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made, proffered, or adduced at the hearings held before the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases.

E. Burden of Proof. The Debtors have the burden of proving the elements of sections 1125 and 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code by a preponderance of the evidence. The Debtors have met their burden with respect to each Debtor and each element of sections 1125 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

F. Chapter 11 Petitions. On the Petition Date, each of the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court.The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s Order Under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1015 and Del. Bankr. L.R. 1015 -1 Authorizing Joint Administration of Chapter 11 Cases, dated May 3, 2016 [Docket No. 29], the Debtors’ cases are being jointly administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). No committee, trustee, or examiner has been appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases.

G. Adequacy of Disclosure. The Plan contains “adequate information” within the meaning of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

H. Transmittal of Plan Materials. In satisfaction of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 2002(b), on or about August 15, 2016, the Debtors, through Prime Clerk, mailed the Confirmation Hearing Notice to, among others, known holders of Claims against or Equity Interests in the Debtors. Further, on August 17, 2016, the

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 5 of 33

Debtors published the Publication Notice in The Boston Globe. The Confirmation Hearing Notice and the Publication Notice notified Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and other parties of the deadline and procedures for filing objections to the Plan and that September 21, 2016, at 1:00 p.m. (Prevailing Eastern Time) was the date and time of the Confirmation Hearing. The Confirmation Hearing Notice and the Publication Notice put parties in interest on notice of the following: (a) that all Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 1 (Secured Claims), Class 2 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 4 (Affiliate Claims), and Class 5 (Intercompany Claims) are Unimpaired under the Plan and, pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, are presumed to accept the Plan and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, and that all Holders of Equity Interests are Impaired, deemed to reject the Plan and ineligible to vote on the Plan; (b) the proposed classification of their Claims or Equity Interests and the estimated recovery for each Class; and (c) that the Plan contained certain injunction, exculpation, and release provisions.

I. No Solicitation Required. Because no Classes of Claims or Equity Interests were eligible to vote on the Plan, the solicitation of votes for acceptance or rejection of the Plan was not required, as set forth in section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ service of the Confirmation Hearing Notice on all known holders of Claims against or Equity Interests in the Debtors, and the publication of the Publication Notice, therefore satisfied sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3017 and 3018, all other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and all other applicable rules, laws, and regulations. Accordingly, the Bankruptcy Court finds there was no need to solicit any votes on the Plan.

J. Adequacy of Notice. Notice of the Confirmation Hearing was given in compliance with the Bankruptcy Rules, and the materials served in conjunction therewith and the publication of the Publication Notice were good and sufficient notice in accordance with

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 6 of 33

Bankruptcy Rules 2002(b) and 3020(b)(2). See Service Affidavits and Publication Verification. All parties required to be given notice of the Confirmation Hearing (including the deadline for filing and serving objections to confirmation of the Plan) have been given due, proper, timely, and adequate notice in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and applicable non-bankruptcy law. No other or further notice or solicitation is required. All parties in interest had the opportunity to appear and be heard at the Confirmation Hearing and no other or further notice is required.

K. Bar Date. On July 20, 2016, pursuant to the Bar Date Order, the Bankruptcy Court established (i) August 30, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. (ET) as the deadline for Creditors (other than Governmental Units) to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) October 31, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. (ET) as the deadline for Governmental Units to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases; and (iii) the Rejection Bar Date (collectively, the “Bar Dates”). Notice of the Bar Dates was served on all known potential creditors of the Debtors’ Estates within five (5) business days after the entry of the Bar Date Order.

L. Impaired Classes Deemed to Reject the Plan. As provided in Articles V, VII, and VIII of the Plan, Classes 6 (BIND Equity Interests), 7 (BIND Security Equity Interests), and 8 (Other Equity Interests) are Impaired under the Plan and are deemed to have rejected the Plan.

M. Classes Deemed To Accept the Plan. Class 1 (Secured Claims), Class 2 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 4 (Affiliate Claims), and Class 5 (Intercompany Claims) are Unimpaired and are deemed to accept the Plan, pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code.

N. Preservation of Causes of Action. Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors have provided due and sufficient notice that the Plan preserves all Causes of Action, as set forth in the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 7 of 33

O. Exculpation and Injunctions. Pursuant to section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a), the settlements, compromises, exculpations, and injunctions set forth in the Plan, and implemented by this Confirmation Order, are fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, Holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors and other parties in interest. Such compromises and settlements are made in exchange for adequate consideration; are fair, necessary, equitable, and reasonable; and are integral elements of the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan. The exculpation (i) is within the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a), 1334(b), and 1334(d); (ii) is an essential means of implementing the Plan pursuant to section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) is an integral element of the Plan; (iv) confers material benefits on, and is in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and the Holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors; (v) is important to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve all Claims among or against the parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases with respect to the Debtors; (vi) is within the reasonable range of litigation outcomes; and (vii) is consistent with sections 105, 1123, 1129, and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and with applicable law. The Declarations, the Confirmation Brief, and the record of the Confirmation Hearing and the Chapter 11 Cases are sufficient to support the releases, exculpations, and injunctions provided for in the Plan and herein.

P. Plan’s Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(1)). The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, sections 1122 and 1123, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Proper Classification (11 U.S.C. §§ 1122 & 1123(a)(1)). In addition to Administrative Expense Claims, Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Statutory Fees, which are not and do not need to be classified, the Plan designates separate Classes of Claims and Equity Interests for and

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 8 of 33

against the Debtors. The Claims and Equity Interests placed in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims and Equity Interests, as the case may be, in each such Class. Valid business, factual, and legal reasons exist for separately classifying the various Classes of Claims and Equity Interests created under the Plan, and such Classes do not unfairly discriminate between Holders of Claims and Equity Interests or the Holders of such Claims and Equity Interests have consented to such classification. Thus, the Plan satisfies sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ii.

Specify Unimpaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(2)). Articles V, VII, and VIII of the Plan specify that Class 1 (Secured Claims), Class 2 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 4 (Affiliate Claims), and Class 5 (Intercompany Claims) are Unimpaired in that the legal, equitable, or contractual rights of Holders of Claims in these Classes are not altered under the Plan, which satisfies section 1123(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

iii.

Specify Treatment of Impaired Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(3)). Articles V, VII, and VIII of the Plan provide that Holders of Equity Interests in Classes 6 (BIND Equity Interests), 7 (BIND Security Equity Interests), and 8 (Other Equity Interests) are Impaired under the Plan and clearly specify the treatment of the Equity Interests in Classes 6, 7, and 8, thereby satisfying section 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

iv.

No Discrimination (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(4)). Article VIII of the Plan provides for the same treatment by the Debtors for each Claim or Equity Interest in each respective Class unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Equity Interest has agreed to a less favorable treatment of such Claim or Equity Interest, which satisfies section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Implementation of the Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(5)). Articles IX, X, XI and XVI of the Plan provide adequate means for the Plan’s implementation, including, without limitation, provisions concerning (1) the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates; (2) the transfer of all of the Debtors’ remaining assets to the DNIB Liquidating Trust; (3) appointment of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee; (4) sources of cash for Distribution; (5) authority to take corporate action; (6) authority to effectuate documents and further transactions; (7) preservation of Causes of Actions and (8) distributions under the Plan. Thus, the Plan provides adequate and proper means for its implementation, which satisfies section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

vi.

Non-Voting Equity Securities (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(6)). Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to the Plan because the Debtors do not propose to issue any equity securities under the Plan.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 9 of 33

vii.

Selection of Officers, Directors, and the Trustee (11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(7)). Pursuant to Section IX.A. of the Plan, effective as of the Effective Date, (i) the board of directors of each Post-Effective Date Debtor shall be comprised solely of Geoffrey L. Berman, and (ii) the sole officer of each Post-Effective Date Debtor shall be the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee. As required by section 1123(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, Mr. Berman has been selected in a manner consistent with the interests of Creditors and Holders of Equity Interests and with public policy.

viii.

Impairment/Unimpairment of Classes of Claims and Equity Interests (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(1)). As permitted by section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to Articles V, VII, and VIII of the Plan, Claims in Class 1 (Secured Claims), Class 2 (Priority Non-Tax Claims), Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims), Class 4 (Affiliate Claims), and Class 5 (Intercompany Claims) are Unimpaired while Equity Interests in Classes 6 (BIND Equity Interests), 7 (BIND Security Equity Interests), and 8 (Other Equity Interests) are Impaired.

ix.

Assumption and Rejection (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(2)). As permitted by section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section XIII.A. of the Plan provides that on the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts not assumed before the Effective Date, or subject to a pending motion to assume as of the Effective Date, will be deemed rejected.

Settlement/Retention of Claims or Interests (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(3)). As permitted by section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section XVI.B. of the Plan provides that except as otherwise provided therein, any assets that are property of the Debtors’ Estates on the Effective Date including, without limitation, any Causes of Action, shall transfer to the DNIB Liquidation Trust on the Effective Date. Thereafter, the DNIB Liquidation Trust (at the direction of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee) may use, acquire and dispose of such property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, or Bankruptcy Court approval. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all property of the Debtors shall be free and clear of any liens, Claims, encumbrances and interests of any kind.

xi.

Additional Plan Provisions (11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(6)). The exculpations, releases, and injunctions issued pursuant to Article XII of the Plan preserve and enforce the releases granted by the Plan and are narrowly tailored to achieve that purpose. Such provisions, and all other provisions of the Plan, are consistent with section 1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, and not inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 10 of 33

Q. Compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016. The Plan is dated and identifies the entities submitting it, thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a). The filing of the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court satisfies Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b). The Plan describes in specific and conspicuous language all acts to be enjoined under the Plan and identifies all entities that are subject to the injunctions set forth in the Plan in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(c).

R. Compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 3018. As set forth more fully in Paragraphs I and J above, no solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan was required as no parties were entitled to vote on the Plan. The Confirmation Hearing Notice was transmitted to all known holders of Claims against and Equity Interests in the Debtors (see Service Affidavits) and the Publication Notice was published in The Boston Globe (see Publication Verification), sufficient time was prescribed for the parties in interest to object to the adequacy of the confirmation of the Plan, and the materials related to the Plan otherwise comply with section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, thereby satisfying the requirements of Bankruptcy Rule 3018.

S. Debtors’ Compliance with Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(2)). The Debtors have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules in transmitting the Confirmation Hearing Notice and publishing the Publication Notice, and have otherwise complied with the provisions of Title 11, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

T. Plan Proposed in Good Faith (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(3)). The Debtors have proposed the Plan in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law, thereby satisfying section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan is designed to allow the Debtors to liquidate their remaining assets in a manner that will maximize recoveries to Creditors and Holders of Equity Interests. The Debtors, their predecessors, successors, and assigns (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and their current and former equity holders, officers, directors, employees, managers, shareholders, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, agents, professionals, and other representatives

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 11 of 33

have acted in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, thus satisfying the “good faith” requirement of section 1129(a)(3). In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith, the Bankruptcy Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the formulation of the Plan.

U. Payments for Services or Costs and Expenses (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(4)). Any payment made or to be made by the Debtors or by any person acquiring property under the Plan, for services or for costs and expenses in or in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, has been disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court. Any such payment made on a final basis before confirmation of the Plan is reasonable and any such payment to be fixed or approved on a final basis after confirmation of the Plan is subject to Court approval, as reasonable. The Plan therefore satisfies section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

V. Directors, Officers, and Insiders (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(5)). Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors disclosed the identity of the proposed sole officer and director of the Post-Effective Date Debtors in the Plan. The appointment of Mr. Berman is consistent with the interests of the Holders of Claims and Equity Interests and with public policy. The provisions are consistent with the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) and are in the best interests of Creditors and Holders of Equity Interests, and, therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

W. No Rate Changes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(6)). The Plan does not provide for the change of any rates subject to the oversight of a governmental regulatory commission. Thus, section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable.

X. Best Interests Test (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7)). If the Chapter 11 Cases were converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the value of distributions from the chapter 7 cases would likely be less than the value of Distributions under the Plan because

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 12 of 33

the Debtors would incur the additional costs and expenses of a chapter 7 trustee and other professional fees relating to the chapter 7 cases. Moreover, distributions in the hypothetical chapter 7 cases may not occur for a longer period of time than Distributions under the Plan, thereby reducing the present value of such distributions. The analysis provided in the Confirmation Brief and other evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing, (i) is persuasive and credible, (ii) has not been controverted by other evidence, and (iii) establishes that the Holders of Allowed Equity Interests, who are Impaired under the Plan, will receive under the Plan on account of such Equity Interests property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that such Holder would so receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on the Effective Date. Recoveries pursuant to the Plan are equal to or in excess of those that would be available if the Debtors were liquidated pursuant to chapter 7, and, therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Y. Acceptance or Rejection by Certain Classes (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(8)). As provided in Articles V, VII, and VIII of the Plan, no Classes of Claims are Impaired under the Plan. Classes 6 (BIND Equity Interests), 7 (BIND Security Equity Interests), and 8 (Other Equity Interests), the only Impaired Classes, are deemed to reject the Plan. The Plan satisfies the cramdown requirements of section 1129(b) with respect to the Classes which will not receive any Distribution of property under the Plan, Classes 7 and 8.

Z. Treatment of Administrative, Priority, and Tax Claims (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(9)). The Plan provides for treatment of Allowed Claims entitled to priority pursuant to section 507(a)(2)-(8) of the Bankruptcy Code in the manner required by section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

AA. Acceptance by Impaired Class (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(10)). Pursuant to section 1129(a)(10), to the extent there is an Impaired Class of Claims, at least one Impaired Class of

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 13 of 33

Claims must accept the Plan, excluding acceptance by any insider The Plan provides for the payment of the entire residual of the Debtors’ estates to holders of BIND Equity Interests, therefore the solicitation of votes from public shareholders is not required under the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Plan is deemed to satisfy the requirements of section 1129(a)(10).

BB. Feasibility (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(11)). The Plan is feasible, as the Debtors have demonstrated, through the financial information provided in their monthly operating reports and evidence proffered or adduced at the Confirmation Hearing as well as through the Declarations, and the Confirmation Brief, that there is a high probability the Debtors possess sufficient funds to meet their expectations under the Plan—to satisfy in full Allowed Class 1 Claims, Allowed Class 2 Claims, Allowed Class 3 Claims, Allowed Class 4 Claims, Allowed Class 5 Claims, Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, Allowed Fee Claims, and Allowed Priority Tax Claims and to make Distributions to Holders of Allowed Equity Interests. The Plan therefore complies with section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.

CC. Payment of Fees (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(12)). Section IV.C. of the Plan provides that (i) all Statutory Fees incurred prior to the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtors on the Effective Date, and (ii) after the Effective Date, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall pay any and all such fees when due and payable, and shall file with the Bankruptcy Court quarterly reports in a form reasonably acceptable to the US Trustee. Notwithstanding the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors called for in the Plan, each of the Debtors shall remain obligated to pay quarterly fees to the US Trustee until the earliest of that particular Debtor’s case being closed, dismissed, or converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, the Plan meets the requirements of section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 14 of 33

DD. Retiree Benefits (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(13)). Section 1129(a)(13) is not applicable to the Plan because the Debtors have not committed to continue to pay any retiree benefits post-Effective Date.

EE. Payment of Domestic Support Obligations (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(14)). The Debtors are not required by any judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay any domestic support obligation, and section 1129(a)(14) is, therefore, inapplicable to the Plan.

FF. Certain Payments by Individual Debtors (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(15)). Neither Debtor is an individual, and, therefore, section 1129(a)(15) is inapplicable to the Plan.

GG. Transfers of Property of a Debtor that Is Not a Moneyed Interest (11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(16)). The Debtors are a for-profit corporation, and section 1129(a)(16), by its terms, applies only to corporations and trusts that are not “moneyed, business, or commercial.” Section 1129(a)(16) is, therefore, inapplicable to the Plan.

HH. No Unfair Discrimination; Fair and Equitable (11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)). Because the Plan has not been accepted by all Impaired Classes, the Debtors must show that the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” against, and is “fair and equitable” with respect to, the non-accepting Impaired Classes. The absolute priority rule requires that, if the Holders of Equity Interests in a particular Impaired Class, which are deemed to reject the Plan, receive less than full value for their Equity Interests, no Holder of Equity Interests in a junior class may receive or retain any property under the Plan. In addition, senior Classes cannot receive more than a 100% recovery for their Claims. Classes 6, 7 and 8 are Impaired Classes under the Plan. Classes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are Unimpaired and, as such, are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Class 6 BIND Equity Interests shall receive the entire residual of the Debtors’ Estates and shall be cancelled and Classes 7 and 8 will receive no distribution and retain no interest under the Plan and have conclusively rejected the Plan pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. No Holder of Claims or Equity Interests

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 15 of 33

junior to the Equity Interests in Classes 6, 7 and 8 will receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such junior Equity Interest, and no class of Claims senior to Classes 6, 7 and 8 is receiving more than full payment on account of the Claims in such Class. Accordingly, the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to Classes 6, 7 and 8 and the Plan complies with section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and may be confirmed notwithstanding the deemed rejection of the Plan by Classes 6, 7 and 8.

II. Only One Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1129(c)). The Plan is the only plan filed in each of the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable in these Chapter 11 Cases.

JJ. Principal Purpose (11 U.S.C. § 1129(d)). The avoidance of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 is not the principal purpose of the Plan, nor is the avoidance of taxes or any provision of applicable tax law a principal purpose of the plan. The Plan, therefore, satisfies the requirements of section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

KK. Good Faith Solicitation (11 U.S.C. § 1125(e)). Based on the record in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors and their directors, officers, employees, advisors, and attorneys have acted in “good faith” within the meaning of section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules in compliance with all of their respective activities related to the Plan and their participation in the activities described in section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and, accordingly, such parties are entitled to the protections afforded by section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and the exculpation provisions set forth in Article XII of the Plan. Based upon the Bankruptcy Court’s review of the Plan, no solicitation is necessary, and, for the avoidance of doubt, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Debtors (including their directors, officers, employees, advisors, and attorneys) shall not have any liability on account of the non-solicitation of the Plan or participating in such non-solicitation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing solicitation of acceptance or rejection of a plan.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 16 of 33

LL. Modifications of the Plan (11 U.S.C. § 1127). Modifications made to the Plan since it was initially filed have complied in all respects with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019.

MM. Satisfaction of Confirmation Requirements. The Plan satisfies the requirements for confirmation set forth in section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

NN. Implementation. All documents necessary to implement the Plan have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid, binding, and enforceable agreements and shall not be in conflict with any federal or state law.

OO. Retention of Jurisdiction. Pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, and notwithstanding the entry of this Confirmation Order or the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or herein, shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, and related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan to the fullest extent permitted by law.

ORDER

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT:

1. Confirmation of the Plan. The Plan (as deemed amended by this Confirmation Order) is approved and confirmed under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The terms of the Plan, and any exhibits or annexations thereto (all of which are subject to further modifications by the Debtors, which modifications shall not be inconsistent with the Plan or this Confirmation Order), and any documents necessary in the judgment of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee to implement, effectuate, and finalize the Plan (which documents shall be consistent with the Plan), whether or not specifically contemplated in the Plan, are approved, are an integral part of the Plan, and are incorporated by reference into the Plan and this Confirmation Order.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 17 of 33

2. Adequacy of Disclosure. The Plan contains “adequate information” within the meaning of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

3. Compromise of Controversies. For the reasons stated herein, the Plan constitutes a good faith, arm’s length compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies relating to the rights that a Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest, or any assignees thereof, may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Equity Interest or any Distribution to be made or obligation to be incurred pursuant to the Plan, and the entry of this Confirmation Order constitutes approval of all such compromises and settlements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors are required to make all required withholding payments and apply with all applicable tax laws with respect to the Distributions.

4. Objections Withdrawn or Overruled. The Objections, and all other objections and responses to the Plan, if any, not heretofore withdrawn or resolved, or otherwise resolved at the Confirmation Hearing as announced on the record, are overruled in their entirety or deemed withdrawn with prejudice.

5. Substantive Consolidation for Plan Purposes Only. Pursuant to Section XI.A.1. of the Plan, entry of this Confirmation Order shall constitute the approval, pursuant to sections 105(a), 541, 1123, and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, of the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates, solely for the purposes of the Plan, including making any Distributions to Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. On the Effective Date, (i) all assets and liabilities of the Debtors will, solely for Distribution purposes, be treated as if they were merged, (ii) each Claim against the Debtors will be deemed a single Claim against and a single obligation of the Debtors, (iii) any Claims filed or to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases will be deemed single Claims against both of the

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 18 of 33

Debtors, (iv) all guarantees of either Debtor of the payment, performance, or collection of obligations of the other Debtor shall be eliminated and canceled, (v) all transfers, disbursements and Distributions on account of Claims made by or on behalf of any of the Debtors’ Estates hereunder will be deemed to be made by or on behalf of all of the Debtors’ Estates, and (vi) any obligation of the Debtors as to Claims or Equity Interests will be deemed to be one obligation of both of the Debtors. Except as set forth in the Plan, such limited substantive consolidation shall not (other than for purposes related to the Plan) affect the legal and corporate structures of the Debtors. Notwithstanding the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors called for in the Plan, each of the Debtors shall remain obligated to pay quarterly fees to the US Trustee until the earliest of that particular Debtor’s case being closed, dismissed, or converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6. Rule 9019 Settlement. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distribution, and other benefits provided under the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and settlement of all Claims or controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan and in these Chapter 11 Cases. The entry of this Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of each of the foregoing compromises or settlements, and all other compromises and settlements provided for in the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases. Such compromises and settlements are fair, equitable, and reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors, the Estates, and all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests against the Debtors. The Debtors are hereby authorized to execute and deliver such other instruments or documents, and take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate, to implement and effectuate the relief granted by this Confirmation Order, including, but not limited to, with respect to and the settlements and compromises with the Debtors set forth in the Plan.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 19 of 33

7. Plan Classification Controlling. The classifications of Claims and Equity Interests for purposes of distributions under the Plan shall be governed solely by the terms of the Plan.

8. Record Closed. The record of the Confirmation Hearing is hereby closed.

9. Notice. The Confirmation Hearing Notice and Publication Notice are approved, and constitute adequate and sufficient notice of the Confirmation Hearing in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 2002. The Debtors provided good and sufficient notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the deadline for filing and serving objections to the Plan, as established by the Service Affidavits and the Publication Verification, and as set forth in Paragraphs I and J above.

10. Authorization and Direction to Act. In accordance with section 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 303 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and any other applicable law of any jurisdiction, the Debtors, the Post-Effective Date Debtors, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee, and each other appropriate party are hereby authorized and directed to take all steps and perform such acts as may be necessary, desirable, or appropriate to comply with, implement, and effectuate the Plan, whether or not such action is specifically contemplated by the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

11. No further approval by the Bankruptcy Court shall be required for any action, transaction, or agreement that the management of the Debtors determine is necessary or appropriate to implement and effectuate or consummate the Plan, whether or not such action, transaction, or agreement is specifically contemplated in the Plan or this Confirmation Order. This Confirmation Order shall further constitute all approvals, consents, and directions required for the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee to act consistent with the Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement by the laws, rules, and regulations of all states and

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 20 of 33

any other governmental authority with respect to the implementation or consummation of the Plan and any documents, instruments, or agreements, and any other acts and transactions referred to in or contemplated by the Plan.

12. Unless specifically directed by this Confirmation Order or the Plan, no further action of the Debtors or the Post-Effective Date Debtors shall be necessary to perform any act to comply with, implement, and effectuate the Plan. The approvals and authorizations specifically set forth in this Confirmation Order are nonexclusive and are not intended to limit the authority of the Debtors or the Post-Effective Date Debtors to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to implement, effectuate, and consummate any and all documents or transactions contemplated by the Plan or this Confirmation Order.

13. Corporate Action. Prior to, on, or after the Effective Date, as appropriate, all matters expressly provided for under the Plan that would otherwise require approval of the shareholders, directors, or managers of the Debtors shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect prior to, on, or after the Effective Date (as appropriate) pursuant to the applicable general corporate or other applicable law of the jurisdictions in which the Debtors are incorporated without any requirement of further action by such shareholders, directors, or managers of the Debtors.

14. Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided in section 1141(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, on and after the Confirmation Date, the provisions of the Plan shall bind any Holder of a Claim against, or Equity Interest in, the Debtors, and such Holder’s respective successors and assigns. Pursuant to sections 1123(a) and 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and the provisions of this Confirmation Order, the Plan, and all documents related to the Plan shall apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 21 of 33

15. Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements. On the Effective Date, except for purposes of evidencing a right to receive a Distribution pursuant to the Plan and the Distribution Record Date contained therein, any document, agreement, or instrument evidencing any Claim or Equity Interests in BIND and BIND Security shall be deemed cancelled without further act or action under any applicable agreement, law, regulation, order, or rule and the obligations of the Debtors under such documents, agreements, or instruments evidencing such Claims and Equity Interests, as the case may be, shall be rendered legally ineffective.

16. Appointment of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee. On the Effective Date, all assets of the Debtors will be transferred to the DNIB Liquidation Trust and the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall be appointed and thereafter serve in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall be empowered to act on behalf of the Estates and the Post-Effective Date Debtors in the manner set forth in the Plan. Following the Effective Date, as they come due, Wind-Down Expenses shall be paid by the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee from the assets of the Estates.

17. Post Confirmation Date Expenses of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee. The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall receive reasonable compensation for services rendered to the Estates and the Post-Effective Date Debtors pursuant to the Plan or the Liquidating Trust Agreement without further Order. In addition, the amount of reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee on or after the Effective Date (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and professional fees and expenses) may be paid without further Order.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 22 of 33

18. Preservation and Retention of Causes of Action. Except as otherwise provided expressly in the Plan, in this Confirmation Order, or in any document, instrument, settlement agreement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, release, or other agreement entered into in connection with the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan or in this Confirmation Order shall be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of Causes of Action, or other legal or equitable defenses that the Debtors had immediately prior to the Effective Date in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, any assets that are property of the Debtors’ Estates on the Effective Date including, without limitation, any Causes of Action, shall transfer to the DNIB Liquidation Trust on the Effective Date. Thereafter, the DNIB Liquidation Trust (at the direction of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee) may use, acquire and dispose of such property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or Bankruptcy Court approval. The failure to specifically list in the Plan any potential or existing Causes of Action generally or specifically does not limit the rights of the Debtors or the Post-Effective Date Debtors to pursue such action. Except as specifically provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all property of the Debtors shall be free and clear of any liens, Claims, encumbrances and interests of any kind

19. Distributions and Claims Reconciliation. The provisions of Article X of the Plan are hereby approved in all respects and found to be fair and reasonable. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or herein, on and after the Effective Date, the Post-Effective Date Debtors or the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall have responsibility and authority for administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising, and settling, or otherwise resolving and making distributions (if any) with respect to all Claims, including all Administrative Expense Claims, without notice to any other party or approval of, or notice to, the Bankruptcy Court.

20. Distribution Record Date. The Distribution Record Date shall be August 30, 2016. Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 23 of 33

transferees of Claims that are transferred pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 or Equity Interests on or prior to the Distribution Record Date will be treated as the Holders of those Claims or Equity Interests for all purposes. The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Claim or Equity Interest occurring after the Distribution Record Date. In making any Distribution with respect to any Claim or Equity Interest, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal with, for all purposes hereunder, only the Entity that, as to Claims, is listed on the proof of claim Filed with respect thereto or on the Schedules as the Holder thereof as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date and, as to Equity Interests, is listed on the Debtors’ books and records or on a record maintained by the Debtors’ transfer agent as having been the Holder of an Equity Interest on the Distribution Record Date, and upon such other evidence or record of transfer or assignment that are actually known to the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee as of the Distribution Record Date.

21. Interest on Distributions to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims will be paid Interest on their Allowed Claims as set forth in the Plan.

22. Failure to Timely File Proof of Claim. Any Person or Entity (including, without limitation, any individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, limited liability company, estate, trust or governmental unit) that was required to file a timely proof of claim in the form and manner specified by the Bar Date Order and failed to do so on or before the General Bar Date or the Governmental Bar Date, as applicable, shall not receive or be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of property from the Debtors or its successors or assigns with respect to such claim. The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall have the right to object to any untimely filed proof of claim.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 24 of 33

23. Claims Objection Deadline. As set forth in Section X.C. of the Plan, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee, and any other party in interest to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall file and serve any objection to any Claims, including Administrative Expense Claims, no later than the Claims Objection Deadline; provided, however, that the Claims Objection Deadline may be extended by the Bankruptcy Court from time to time upon motion and notice by the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee. The Bankruptcy Court may enter an Order approving such motion without further notice or a hearing. Any objection not filed by the Claims Objection Deadline shall be deemed waived.

24. Rejection of Executory Contracts. On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts not assumed before the Effective Date, or subject to a pending motion to assume as of the Effective Date, will be deemed rejected. Entry of this Confirmation Order shall constitute approval of such rejections pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. If the rejection by the Debtors of an Executory Contract pursuant to the Plan gives rise to a Claim, a proof of claim must be submitted to the Balloting Agent at Prime Clerk LLC, 830 Third Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10022, by no later than twenty (20) days after service of the notice of the Effective Date. Any proofs of claim not filed and served within such time period will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors and their Estates. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts shall be treated as Class 3 Claims under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract pursuant to a separate motion are subject to the Rejection Bar Date.

25. Debtors’ Insurance Policies. Nothing in the Plan and/or this Confirmation Order alters the rights and obligations of the Debtors (and their Estates) and the Debtors’ insurers (and third-party claims administrators) under the Insurance Policies or modifies the coverage or benefits provided thereunder or the terms or conditions thereof or diminishes or impairs the enforceability of the Insurance Policies.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 25 of 33

26. Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. The Debtors, and any of their respective current and/or post-Petition Date and pre-Effective Date Related Persons, shall not have or incur any liability for any act or omission taken or not taken in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation and Filing of the Plan, the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the settlement of Claims or renegotiation of Executory Contracts and leases, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan, except for their willful misconduct or gross negligence or any obligations that they have under or in connection with the Plan or the transactions contemplated in the Plan. Nothing in the Plan or herein shall prevent any exculpated party from asserting as a defense to any claim of willful misconduct or gross negligence that they reasonably relied upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Plan or otherwise.

27. Injunction Related to Exculpation and Releases. This Confirmation Order permanently enjoins the commencement or prosecution by any Person, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities released pursuant to the Plan, including the Claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities released in Article XII of the Plan.

28. Termination of Claims and Equity Interests. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, all Distributions under the Plan shall be in exchange for, and in complete satisfaction, settlement and release of, all Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests of any nature whatsoever against the Debtors or their Estates, assets, properties or interest in property.

30. Injunctions to Protect Estate Assets. Except as expressly otherwise provided in the Plan, including Article XVI.D. of the Plan, or to the extent necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of the Plan, this Confirmation Order, or a separate Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Entities who have held, hold, or may hold Claims against or Equity Interests in the Debtors shall be permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Post-Effective Date Debtors, the Post-

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 27 of 33

confirmation Liquidating Trustee, and/or the Debtors’ successors or any of their property on account of any such Claims or Equity Interests: (i) commencing, conducting, or continuing, in any manner or in any place, directly or indirectly, any action, Cause of Action or other proceeding; (ii) enforcing, levying, attaching, collecting, or otherwise recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or Order; (iii) creating, perfecting, or otherwise enforcing any Lien; (iv) asserting a setoff (except to the extent such setoff was exercised prior to the Petition Date), right of subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any debt, liability, or obligation due to the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Post-Effective Date Debtors, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee, and/or the Debtors’ successors or any of their property; and (v) commencing, acting, proceeding, or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action, Cause of Action or other proceeding that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or this Confirmation Order; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude any Person from exercising its rights, or obtaining benefits, directly and expressly provided to such entity pursuant to and consistent with the terms of the Plan, and the contracts, instruments, releases, agreements, and documents delivered in connection with the Plan.

31. Releases by the Debtors. Effective as of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, the Debtors and each of the Debtors’ successors and assigns, shall be deemed to, completely, conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever release, waive, void, extinguish and discharge each of the Debtors’ Related Persons from any claim, Claim, Cause of Action, obligation, suit, judgment, damages, debt, right, remedy or liability, for any act or omission (i) that took place prior to the Petition Date relating to and/or in connection with any of the Debtors, and (ii) in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation and Filing of the Plan, the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the settlement of

Claims or renegotiation of Executory Contracts and leases, the pursuit of confirmation of the Plan, the consummation of the Plan, or the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan.

32. Release Limitations. Notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary, no provision of the Plan or of this Confirmation Order, including any release or exculpation provision, shall modify, release, or otherwise limit the liability of any Person not specifically released hereunder, including any Person that is a co-obligor or joint tortfeasor of a released party, that otherwise is liable under theories of vicarious or other derivative liability.

33. Approval of Releases. Entry of this Confirmation Order constitutes the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the releases set forth in Article XII of the Plan pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and the Bankruptcy Court hereby finds that the releases are: (a) in exchange for good and valuable consideration, representing a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims and Causes of Action thereby released; (b) in the best interests of the Debtors and all Holders of Claims and Equity Interests; (c) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (d) approved after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (e) a bar to any Person asserting any Claim or Cause of Action thereby released.

34. Term of Bankruptcy Injunction or Stays. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, this Confirmation Order, or a separate Order from the Bankruptcy Court, all injunctions or stays arising under or entered during the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and in existence on the Confirmation Date, (i) shall remain in full force and effect until the later of the Effective Date and the date indicated in such applicable Order and (ii) with respect to all proceeds of the sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets to Pfizer and Excluded Assets (as defined in the APA), shall remain in effect until, and for purposes of enjoining any action interfering with, the final Distribution of such proceeds pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457 Filed 09/26/16 Page 29 of 33

35. Claims Agent. Unless Prime Clerk has been previously relieved of its duties by written notice of the Debtors prior thereto, the request for the Order entered pursuant to section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 3022, and Local Rule 5009-1 closing the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Final Decree”) shall provide that Prime Clerk, in its capacity as claims, noticing, and balloting agent shall be relieved of such duties on the date of the entry of the Final Decree.

36. No Discharge. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Debtors are not entitled to, and shall not receive, a discharge pursuant to section 1141(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

37. Subordination. All Claims against the Debtors and all rights and Claims between or among Holders of Claims relating in any manner whatsoever to Claims against the Debtors, based upon any claimed subordination rights (if any), shall be deemed satisfied by the Distributions under the Plan, and such subordination rights shall be deemed waived, released, and terminated as of the Effective Date.

38. Late Claims and Amendment to Claims. Except as provided in the Plan, herein, or otherwise agreed, any and all Holders of proofs of claim Filed after the applicable Bar Date shall not be treated as Creditors for purposes of Distribution pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2) and the Bar Date Order unless on or before the Confirmation Date such late Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

A.	General Background

Below is a summary of the Debtors’ business and organizational structure, and the events leading to the Debtors’ Chapter 11 filings.² In addition, below is a summary of certain of the key events in the Chapter 11 Cases.

BIND

BIND Overview

BIND was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 19, 2006 under the name BIND Biosciences, Inc. In April 2013, BIND Biosciences, Inc. changed its name to BIND Therapeutics, Inc. On September 25, 2013, BIND completed an initial public offering of its common stock and was listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol

Further information regarding such matters can be found in the First Day Declaration, which is incorporated by reference herein. Copies of the First Day Declaration and all other filings in the Chapter 11 Cases can be obtained and viewed free of charge at the following web address: http://cases.primeclerk.com/BIND.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 24 of 137

“BIND”. As of April 27, 2016, BIND had 20,886,802 common shares outstanding, of which approximately 2,800,000 were held by insiders. As of December 31, 2015, BIND also had approximately 3,245,780 and 2,399,117 in stock options and warrants outstanding, respectively. BIND is the direct parent of BIND Security and BIND Russia. On August 1, 2016, BIND’s common stock was suspended from trading on The NASDAQ Global Select Market and is currently quoted on an over-the-counter market.

Until August 1, 2016, BIND operated as a biotechnology company developing novel targeted therapeutics, primarily for the treatment of cancer. Its product candidates were based on proprietary polymeric nanoparticles called ACCURINS^®, polymeric nanoparticles that incorporate therapeutic payloads with diverse physical and chemical properties, provide prolonged circulation within the bloodstream, enable targeting of the diseased tissue or cells, and provide for the controlled and timely release of the therapeutic payload. ACCURINS^® have the potential to achieve therapeutic outcomes not currently possible with conventional treatment modalities. BIND previously engaged in the development of ACCURINS^® with three different therapeutic objectives, both through internal research programs and with collaborators: (i) innovative medicines – designing new therapeutic approaches by combining novel targeting methods and new classes of therapeutic payloads; (ii) enabling potent pathway inhibitors – enabling greater inhibition of important cellular pathways where that level of inhibition has been unachievable due to off target toxicity; and (iii) differentiated efficacy with approved drugs – improving upon safety and efficacy with previously approved chemotherapeutic agents.

Prior to August 1, 2016, BIND manufactured ACCURINS^® using a highly specialized, self-assembly manufacturing process that was the backbone of its Medicinal Nanoengineering^® platform and had more than five issued U.S. patents relating to the Accurin manufacturing processes.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 25 of 137

BIND had a pilot manufacturing facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts prior to August 1, 2016, but relied on third-party contract manufacturers for all of its required raw materials, therapeutic payload, and finished product for its preclinical research and clinical trials. BIND had also invested in a dedicated compounding space at a contract manufacturer, and employed internal resources to manage its third-party contract manufacturers.

Collaborations

Prior to August 1, 2016, BIND had collaboration agreements with Pfizer and AstraZeneca AB. In addition, BIND also had research agreements with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Merck & Co., Macrophage Therapeutics (a subsidiary of Navidea Biopharmaceuticals), Synergy Pharmaceuticals, and PeptiDream, Inc. to develop applications of BIND’s Accurin technology.

BIND’s collaboration agreements generally required the collaborator to pay all of the development costs associated with the Accurin, including those incurred by BIND. The upfront and potential milestone payments received under these agreements also provided BIND with additional capital resources to develop its own proprietary pipeline of ACCURINS^®.

Intellectual Property

Prior to August 1, 2016, BIND owned more than 20 issued U.S. patents and had filed more than 40 pending U.S. provisional and non-provisional patent applications relating to its Medicinal Nanoengineering^® platform, as well as issued and pending foreign counterparts to many of these patents and patent applications.

Furthermore, BIND had licenses to more than 10 U.S. patents and six pending patent applications, as well as several pending foreign counterparts to many of these patents and patent applications that also relate to its Medicinal Nanoengineering^® platform. BIND licensed the majority of these licensed patents and patent applications on an exclusive basis.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 26 of 137

In June 2007, BIND and Massachusetts Institute of Technology entered into a license agreement, which was amended in November 2008 and April 2013. Pursuant to the license agreement, Massachusetts Institute of Technology granted BIND a worldwide license under certain periods and patent applications generally relating to targeted nanoparticles and methods of making targeted nanoparticles to develop and commercialize licensed products and processes for all therapeutic and diagnostic uses and as research reagents, subject to certain exceptions.

In February 2009, BIND and The Johns Hopkins University entered into a license agreement, which was amended in January 2013, pursuant to which The John Hopkins University granted BIND an exclusive, worldwide license under some of its intellectual property rights relating to nanoparticles targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen in all fields of use.

In January 2013, BIND entered into a license agreement with Yale University, pursuant to which Yale University granted BIND an exclusive, worldwide license under specified intellectual property rights relating to targeted and high density drugloaded polymeric materials to develop and commercialize licensed products and to practice licensed methods for the treatment of cancer.

Headquarters and Employees

Prior to August 1, 2016, BIND’s headquarters were located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where BIND occupied approximately 51,000 square feet of office and laboratory space.³ As of the Petition Date, BIND had 65 full-time employees, approximately 50 of whom were primarily engaged in research and development activities. None of BIND’s employees

were represented by a labor union. Following the closing of the sale of substantially all of its assets to Pfizer on August 1, 2016, BIND currently has no employees and no business operations. On August 3, 2016, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Motion for Order Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Employ Development Specialists, Inc. to Provide Interim Management Services Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363, and (II) Designate Geoffrey L. Berman as (A) Chief Restructuring Officer of DNIB Unwind, Inc. and (B) President of DNIB Subsidiary Corporation, Nunc Pro Tunc to August 1, 2016 [Docket No. 340] (the “CRO Retention Motion”) seeking to employ and retain Development Specialists, Inc. to provide interim management services to the Debtors and to designate Mr. Berman as the Chief Restructuring Officer of BIND and President of BIND Security as of August 1, 2016. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the relief requested in the CRO Retention Motion on August 22, 2016 [Docket No. 376].

Prepetition Credit Agreement

As of the Petition Date, BIND was party to that certain Prepetition Credit Agreement, with the Prepetition Lender, pursuant to which the Prepetition Lender provided loans to BIND. As of the Petition Date, the principal amount outstanding under the Prepetition Documents was not less than $13.2 million (together with any amounts incurred or accrued but unpaid prior to the Petition Date in accordance with the Prepetition Documents, including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid interest (including at applicable default rates), any fees, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees, related expenses and disbursements), reimbursement obligations, indemnification obligations, and other charges, amounts and costs of whatever nature owing, whether or not contingent, whenever arising, accrued, accruing, due, owing, or chargeable in respect of BIND’s obligations pursuant to the Prepetition Documents relating solely to the loans provided thereunder).

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 28 of 137

To secure the Prepetition Obligations, and pursuant to the Prepetition Documents, BIND granted to the Prepetition Lender security interests in and liens on certain assets of BIND as described in the Prepetition Documents, including, without limitation, (a) Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles; (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods; and (j) other tangible and intangible personal property of BIND owned, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by BIND wherever located; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the forgoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing.⁴

BIND Security

BIND Security, which was founded in December 2007, buys and sells securities on its own behalf and not as a broker. As a result of certain restrictions in the Prepetition Credit Agreement, BIND has not made any investments into BIND Security since February 11, 2015. BIND Security currently has no employees and no business operations. BIND Security is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of BIND.

B.	Events Precipitating the Chapter 11 Filing

These Chapter 11 Cases were precipitated by a Notice of Default, dated April 26, 2016, issued by the Prepetition Lender notifying the Debtors of purported Events of Default under the Prepetition Credit Agreement and demanding immediate payment in full of all amounts due under the Prepetition Facility.

The following is a brief description of certain material events that have occurred during the Chapter 11 Cases.

On June 2, 2016, the UST commenced the meeting of creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Section 341(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The meeting was adjourned and resumed and concluded on July 26, 2016.

Schedules and Statements

Each of the Debtors filed its Schedules with the Bankruptcy Court on June 15, 2016. Subsequently, BIND amended and modified Schedule G on June 17, 2016, July 7, 2016, July 14, 2016, July 25, 2016 and August 31, 2016 [Docket Nos. 187, 227, 245, 301, and 392] and Schedule E/F on June 27, 2016 and August 31, 2016 [Docket Nos. 200 and 392].

Bar Dates

Pursuant to the Bar Date Order, the Bankruptcy Court established (i) August 30, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. (ET) as the deadline for Creditors (other than Governmental Units) to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) October 31, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. (ET) as the deadline for Governmental Units to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases; and (iii) the Rejection Bar Date (collectively, the “Bar Dates”). Notice of the Bar Dates was served on all potential creditors of the Debtors’ Estates within five (5) business days after the entry of the Bar Date Order on July 20, 2016.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 34 of 137

D.	Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The confirmation and execution of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement may have tax consequences to Holders of Claims and Equity Interests. The Debtors do not offer an opinion as to any federal, state, local or other tax consequences to Holders of Claims and Equity Interests as a result of the confirmation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. All Holders of Claims and Equity Interests are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. This Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement is not intended, and should not be construed, as legal or tax advice to any Creditor, Equity Interest Holder or other party in interest.

E.	Alternate Plan

If this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement is not confirmed, the Debtors, or any other party in interest could attempt to formulate a different plan. The additional costs, including, among other amounts, additional professional fees or asserted substantial contribution claims, all of which would constitute Administrative Expense Claims (subject to allowance), however, may be so significant that one or more parties in interest could request that the Chapter 11 Cases be converted to chapter 7. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement enables Creditors to realize the best return under the circumstances.

F.	The Sale

Even prior to the filing of these Chapter 11 Cases, Cowen was engaged to assist the Debtors in reviewing and analyzing their operations, properties, financial condition and prospects; assisting them in evaluating potential transaction alternatives and strategies and identifying financial and/or strategic institutional investors or other investors who might have been interested in participating in a transaction; and advising them as to potential mergers or

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 35 of 137

acquisitions, and the sale or other disposition of any of their businesses or assets. Cowen engaged in an extensive marketing process, both before and after the Petition Date, in an effort to locate a potential buyer for the Debtors’ assets. One hundred thirty potential buyers were contacted during the marketing process, fourteen of which executed non-disclosure agreements and six of which participated in management presentations in May and June 2016. Following substantial due diligence efforts and extensive discussions, two potential buyers emerged on June 27, 2016. The Debtors determined that the offer made by Pfizer was substantially more attractive, and therefore, the Debtors accepted Pfizer’s bid, subject to better or higher offers. Following Pfizer’s bid, the Debtors received offers from other potential buyers. On July 25 and 26, 2016, the Debtors held the Auction and Pfizer emerged as the winning bidder. The sale to Pfizer was approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Sale Order on July 27, 2016 and closed on August 1, 2016. Immediately upon closure of the sale to Pfizer and receipt of the sale proceeds, the Debtors paid $9,115,956.91 to the Prepetition Lender in full satisfaction of its claims against BIND.

The allowance, classification and treatment of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests provided for herein takes into account the relative priority and rights of such Claims and Equity Interests in connection with any contractual, legal and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

The Debtors believe this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement is beneficial to all of the Debtors’ Creditors. The Debtors estimate Allowed General Unsecured Claims in Class 3 of approximately $5.2 million and, pursuant to this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, such Holders shall be paid in full should the Debtors’ estimate of the amount of Allowed Class 3

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 36 of 137

Claims be correct. Additionally, all non-Debtor Affiliate Claims are being subordinated to other General Unsecured Claims and will be paid in full. However, the Debtors are not aware of the existence of any non-Debtor Affiliate Claims.

The Debtors worked in good faith to establish the terms of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, which, as described further below, will provide Holders of Allowed Claims with immediate Distributions of Cash.

For all these reasons, the Debtors believe this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement is in the best interests of their Estates.

G.	Best Interests Test

Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that each Holder of an Impaired claim or interest either (a) accept the plan or (b) receive or retain under plan property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the value such Holder would receive if the debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Because the majority of the Debtors’ assets have already been liquidated to Cash pursuant to the Acquisition, the value of any Distributions to Holders of Equity Interests if the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases were converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would be less than the value of Distributions under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. This is because conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to chapter 7 cases would require the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee, and in turn, such chapter 7 trustee’s likely retention of new professionals. The “learning curve” that the trustee and new professionals would be faced with comes with potential additional costs to the Estates and with a delay compared to the time of Distributions under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. Furthermore, a chapter 7 trustee would be entitled to statutory fees relating to the Distributions of the already monetized assets made to creditors. Accordingly, a portion of the cash currently available for Distribution to Holders of Allowed Equity Interests would instead be paid to the chapter 7 trustee.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 37 of 137

As a result, the Debtors believe that the Estates would have fewer funds available for distribution in a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation than they would if this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement is confirmed, and therefore Holders of Allowed Equity Interests will recover less in the hypothetical chapter 7 cases. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the “best interest” test of Bankruptcy Code Section 1129 is satisfied.

H.	Releases by the Debtors

The release provisions set forth in Articles XII.B. of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement are an integral part of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

I.	Certain Risk Factors to be Considered

Holders of Claims and Equity Interests should read and consider carefully the risk factors below, as well as the other information set forth in this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the documents attached to this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. These factors should not be regarded as constituting the only risks present in connection with this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement and its implementation.

Risk Factors that May Affect the Debtors’ Ability to Consummate this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement

Debtors May Not Be Able to Secure Confirmation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement

As is described in greater detail in Section VI.A.3 below, Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code sets forth the requirements for confirmation of a chapter 11 plan. While, as set forth below, the Debtors believe that this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement complies with or will comply with all such requirements, there can be no guarantee that the Bankruptcy Court will agree.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 38 of 137

Risk of Non-Occurrence of the Effective Date

Although the Debtors believe that the Effective Date will occur and may occur quickly after the Confirmation Date, there can be no assurance as to such timing, or as to whether the Effective Date will, in fact, occur.

Parties May Object to the Classification of Claims and Equity Interests

Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan may place a claim or an equity interest in a particular class only if such claim or equity interest is substantially similar to the other claims or equity interests in such class. As is described in greater detail in Section VI.A.4 below, the Debtors believe that the classification of Claims and Equity Interests under the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion.

Risk Factors that may Affect Distributions under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement

The estimates of Allowed Claims and recoveries for Holders of Allowed Claims set forth in this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement are based on various assumptions. Should one or more of the underlying assumptions ultimately prove to be incorrect, the actual Allowed amounts of Claims may vary significantly from the estimated Claims contained in this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. Moreover, the Debtors cannot determine with any certainty at this time the number or amount of Claims that will ultimately be Allowed. Such differences may materially and adversely affect, among other things, the recoveries to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

IV. TREATMENT OF UNCLASSIFIED CLAIMS

A.	Administrative Expense Claims

Requests for Administrative Expense Claims must be filed by no later than the Administrative Expense Bar Date. On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practical, each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim shall receive payment in full in Cash of the Allowed amount of such Claim (as determined by settlement or Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court) or such other treatment as may be agreed upon by such Holder of an Allowed Administrative Expense Claim on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Administrative Expense Claims based on the fees and expenses of Professionals shall only be paid after Court authorization.

Fees Claims that are charged and incurred from and after August 1, 2016 are projected to be no more than $2,000,000, not including the success fee owed to Cowen, which fees and expenses include, without limitation: the fees and expenses of the Debtors’ professionals associated with (a) drafting, negotiation and confirmation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, and (b) claims objections/reconciliation for Claims, and Distributions under the Plan.

B.	Priority Tax Claims

On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is practical, each Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim, if any, shall receive payment in full in Cash of the Allowed amount of such Claim (as determined by settlement or Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court), or such other treatment as may be agreed upon by such Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim. Allowed Priority Tax Claims are projected to be approximately $207,000.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 40 of 137

C.	Payment of Statutory Fees

All Statutory Fees incurred prior to the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtors on the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall pay any and all such fees when due and payable, and shall file with the Bankruptcy Court quarterly reports in a form reasonably acceptable to the UST. Notwithstanding the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors called for in this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, each of the Debtors shall remain obligated to pay quarterly fees to the UST until the earliest of that particular Debtor’s case being closed, dismissed or converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

V. SUMMARY OF DEBTORS’ ASSETS; SUMMARY OF TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS AND ESTIMATED RECOVERIES

A.	Summary of Assets


Asset		Estimated Value as of 8/15/2016
Cash and Cash Equivalents		approximately $28,000,000

Accounts Receivable and Deposits		approximately $5,200,000⁷

B.	Summary of Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests and Estimated Recoveries

The following chart provides a summary of treatment of each Class of Claims and Equity Interests (other than Administrative Expense Claims and Priority Tax Claims) and an estimate of the recoveries of each Class.⁸ The treatment provided in this chart is for informational purposes only and is qualified in its entirety by Article VII of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

⁷	This amount does not include the $1.975 million holdback held in escrow pursuant to the APA.

⁸

The amounts represent estimated Allowed Claims, and do not represent amounts actually asserted by the Creditors in proofs of claim or otherwise. The Debtors have not completed their analysis of Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases and objections to such Claims have not been fully litigated. Therefore, there can be no assurances of the exact amount of the Allowed Claims at this time. Rather, the actual amount of the Allowed Claims may be more or less than estimated.

VI. CONFIRMATION PROCEDURES

A.	Confirmation Procedure

Confirmation Hearing

A hearing before the Honorable Brendan L. Shannon has been scheduled for September 21, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. (ET), at the Bankruptcy Court, 824 North Market Street, 6th Floor, Courtroom No. 1, Wilmington, Delaware 19081 to (A) approve the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement as providing adequate information pursuant to Section 1125 of the

⁹

The estimated percentage recovery is based upon, among other things, an estimate of the Allowed Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases. As set forth above in footnote 8, the actual amount of the Allowed Claims may be more or less than estimated. Thus the actual recoveries may be higher or lower than projected depending upon, among other things, the amounts and priorities of Claims that are actually Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 42 of 137

Bankruptcy Code and (B) consider confirmation of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time by the Bankruptcy Court without further notice, except for an announcement of the adjourned date made at the Confirmation Hearing or by Filing a notice with the Bankruptcy Court.

Any objection to confirmation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement must: (i) be in writing, (ii) conform to the Bankruptcy Rules and Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and (iii) be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served so as to be actually received on or before September 14, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. (ET), by (i) counsel for the Debtors, (a) Latham & Watkins LLP, 355 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90071-1560 (Attn: Peter M. Gilhuly, Esq.) (Facsimile: 213-891-8763) and (b) Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., One Rodney Square, 920 N. King Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 (Attn: John H. Knight, Esq.) (Facsimile: 302-498-7559); and (ii) the UST, J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building, 844 King Street, Suite 2207, Lockbox 35, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 (Attn: Mark Kenney) (Facsimile: 302-573-6497). Unless an objection is timely filed and served by the Confirmation Objection Deadline, such objection may not be considered by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing.

Requirements for Confirmation

The Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement only if it meets all the applicable requirements of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. Among the requirements for confirmation in these Chapter 11 Cases is that the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement be: (i) accepted by all Impaired Classes of Claims and Equity Interests or, if rejected by an Impaired Class, that the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement “does not discriminate unfairly” against and is “fair and equitable” with respect to such Class; and (ii) feasible. The Bankruptcy Court must also find that:

The Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement has classified Claims and Equity Interests in a permissible manner;

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 43 of 137

The Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement complies with the technical requirements of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; and

The Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement has been proposed in good faith.

The Debtors believe that the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement complies, or will comply, with all such requirements.

Classification of Claims and Equity Interests

Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement to place a Claim or Equity Interest in a particular Class only if such Claim or Equity Interest is substantially similar to the other Claims or Equity Interests in such Class. The Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement creates separate Classes to deal respectively with Secured Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims, General Unsecured Claims, Affiliate Claims, Intercompany Claims, BIND Equity Interests, BIND Security Equity Interests and Other Equity Interests. The Debtors believe that the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement’s classifications place substantially similar Claims or Equity Interests in the same Class and thus meet the requirements of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 44 of 137

Impaired Claims or Equity Interests

Pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a Class of Claims or Equity Interests may be Impaired if the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement alters the legal, equitable or contractual rights of the Holders of such Claims or Equity Interests treated in such Class. The Holders of Claims not Impaired by the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement are deemed to accept the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement and do not have the right to vote on the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. The Holders of Equity Interests are deemed to reject this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement and do not have the right to vote. Finally, the Holders of Claims or Equity Interests whose Claims or Equity Interests are not classified under the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement are not entitled to vote on the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

Confirmation Notice

All Creditors and parties in interest will receive notice of the Confirmation Hearing on this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement (the “Confirmation Notice”), which shall contain instructions for obtaining a copy of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement free of charge.

Elimination of Vacant Classes

Any Class of Claims or Equity Interests that does not contain, as of the date of commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest, shall be deemed deleted from the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement for all purposes.

B.	Bar Dates for Fee Claims

All requests for compensation or reimbursement of Professionals retained in these Chapter 11 Cases for services performed and expenses incurred prior to the Effective Date shall be filed and served on: (i) counsel for the Debtors, (a) Latham & Watkins LLP, 355 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90071-1560 (Attn: Peter M. Gilhuly, Esq.) (Facsimile: 213-891-8763) and (b) Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., One Rodney Square, 920 N. King Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 (Attn: John H. Knight, Esq.)

For the avoidance of doubt, no further Distributions on account of Allowed Equity Interests shall be made unless and until all Claims of a higher priority under the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, Allowed Claims, are satisfied in full and all objections with respect thereto have been resolved and any Claims that are or become Allowed Claims are satisfied in full with interest and there are no unresolved Claims of any Creditors.

B.	Modification of Treatment of Claims and Equity Interests

The Debtors and Post-Effective Date Debtors reserve the right to modify the treatment of any Allowed Claim or Equity Interest in any manner adverse only to the Holder of such Claim or Equity Interest at any time after the Effective Date upon the consent of the Holder of the Claim or Equity Interest whose Allowed Claim or Equity Interest, as the case may be, is being adversely affected.

C.	Cramdown and No Unfair Discrimination.

With respect to the Impaired Classes of Equity Interests, which are deemed to have rejected the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the Debtors hereby request, without any delay in the occurrence of the Confirmation Hearing or Effective Date, that the Bankruptcy Court confirm the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement in accordance with Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such non-accepting Classes, in which case the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement shall constitute a motion for such relief.

Confirming the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement under such a circumstance is what is known as a “cramdown.” Among other things, a “cramdown” is appropriate where the Bankruptcy Court finds that such plan does not unfairly discriminate against the objecting class and is fair and equitable with respect to such objecting class. A plan unfairly discriminates against a class if another class of equal rank in priority will receive greater value under the plan than the non-accepting class without reasonable justification. A plan is fair and equitable if no claim or interest junior to the objecting class shall receive or retain any claim or interest under the plan.

Effective as of the Effective Date, members of the board of directors of each Debtor prior to the Effective Date, in their capacities as such, shall have no continuing obligations to either of the Post-Effective Date Debtors on or after the Effective Date.

The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee may take any and all actions which he deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to defend against any Claim, including, without limitation, the right to: (a) exercise any and all judgment and discretion with respect to the manner in which to defend against or settle any Claim, including, without limitation, the retention of professionals, experts and consultants; and (b) enter into a settlement agreement or agreements without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

X. PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE COMBINED PLAN AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

A.	Method of Payment

Unless otherwise expressly agreed, in writing, all Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement shall be made by check drawn on a domestic bank or an electronic wire.

B.	Objections to and Resolution of Claims

The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall have the right to file objections and/or motions to estimate any and all Claims after the Effective Date. The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall have the authority to compromise, settle, otherwise resolve or withdraw any objections, without approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall further have the authority to resolve and settle any and all Claims without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

C.	Claims Objection Deadline

The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee, and any other party in interest to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall file and serve any objection to any Claims, including Administrative Expense Claims, no later than the Claims Objection Deadline; provided, however, the Claims Objection Deadline may be extended by the Bankruptcy Court from time to time upon motion and notice by the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee.

D.	No Distribution Pending Allowance

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, no payment or Distribution of Cash or other property shall be made with respect to any portion of a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Claim are resolved by Final Order or as otherwise permitted by this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 55 of 137

E.	Claims Reserve

On any date that Distributions are to be made under the terms of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall reserve Cash or property equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Cash or property that would be Distributed on such date on account of Disputed Claims as if each such Disputed Claim were an Allowed Claim but for the pendency of a dispute with respect thereto, unless otherwise Ordered by the Bankruptcy Court following notice to the affected Claim Holder. Such Cash or property, as the case may be, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of all such Disputed Claims pending determination of their entitlement thereto.

F.	Distribution After Allowance

Except as provided herein, within the later of (i) seven (7) Business Days after such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim and (ii) thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Claims Objection Deadline, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall distribute all Cash or other property to which a Holder of an Allowed Claim is then entitled.

G.	Initial Distribution to Holders of Allowed Equity Interests

Subject to Section X.M, the Post-Effective Date Debtors or the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall make an initial Distribution to Holders of Allowed Equity Interests (the “Initial Equity Distribution”) within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (the “Initial Equity Distribution Date”); provided, however, that no such Initial Equity Distribution shall be made until satisfaction in full of all Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, all Allowed Fee Claims, all Priority Tax Claims, all administrative expenses due and owing as of the Initial Equity Distribution Date, all Allowed Class 1 Claims, all Allowed

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 56 of 137

Class 2 Claims, all Allowed Class 4 Claims, all Allowed Class 5 Claims, and, with respect to Class 3 Claims, any and all Class 3 Claims that are Allowed as of the Initial Equity Distribution Date; provided, further, that all Wind-Down Expenses due and owing as of the Initial Equity Distribution Date and all unpaid Fee Claims shall be paid out of, and as part of, the Initial Equity Distribution on the Initial Equity Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no further Distributions on account of Allowed Equity Interests shall be made unless and until all Claims of a higher priority under the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, Allowed Claims, are satisfied in full and all objections with respect thereto have been resolved and any Claims that are or become Allowed Claims are satisfied in full with interest and there are no unresolved Claims of any Creditors.

Subject to Section X.M, the Initial Equity Distribution shall be in the amount of $8 million; provided, however, that to the extent Disputed Claims are resolved, paid, satisfied or reduced by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Initial Equity Distribution Date, the amount of the Initial Equity Distribution shall be increased dollar-for-dollar in an amount not to exceed $12 million in the aggregate. The Post-Effective Date Debtors or the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall File and serve upon the UST, a notice of Initial Equity Distribution twenty (20) days prior to the issuance of such Distribution. If no objections are received to the proposed Initial Equity Distribution within fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled Initial Equity Distribution, the Post-Effective Date Debtors or the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee may proceed with the issuance of the Initial Equity Distribution to the Holders of Allowed Equity Interests as set forth in the notice of the Initial Equity Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, no further Distributions on account of Allowed Equity Interests shall be made unless and until all claims of a higher priority under the Bankruptcy Code and the then incurred Wind-Down Expenses, have been paid in full.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 57 of 137

H.	Adjustments to Claims Without Objection

After the Effective Date, any Claim that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim that has been amended or superseded, may be marked as satisfied, adjusted or expunged on the register of Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases by the Balloting Agent at the direction of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, Order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

I.	Late Claims and Amendments to Claims

Except as provided herein or otherwise agreed, any and all Holders of proofs of claim Filed after the applicable Bar Date shall not be treated as Creditors for purposes of Distribution pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2) and the Bar Date Order unless on or before the Confirmation Date such late Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order. After the Confirmation Date, a Claim may not be Filed or amended without the authorization of the Bankruptcy Court.

J.	Distribution Record Date

Except as otherwise provided in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, the transferees of Claims that are transferred pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001 on or prior to the Distribution Record Date will be treated as the Holders of those Claims for all purposes. The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall have no obligation to recognize any transfer of any Claim occurring after the Distribution Record Date. In making any Distribution with respect to any Claim, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled instead to recognize and deal with, for all purposes hereunder, only the Entity that is listed on the proof of claim Filed with respect thereto or on the Schedules as the Holder thereof as of the close of business on the

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 58 of 137

Distribution Record Date and upon such other evidence or record of transfer or assignment that are actually known to the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee as of the Distribution Record Date.

K.	Delivery of Distributions

Except as provided herein, Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests shall be made: (1) at the addresses set forth on the respective proofs of claim or interest Filed by such Holders; (2) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee after the date of any related proof of claim or interest; (3) at the address reflected in the Schedules if no proof of claim or interest is filed and the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee has not received a written notice of a change of address; or (4) through the transfer agent for BIND Equity Interests.

If the Distribution to the Holder of any Claim or Equity Interest is returned to the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee as undeliverable, no further Distribution shall be made to such Holder unless and until the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee is notified in writing of such Holder’s then current address. Undeliverable Distributions shall remain in the possession of the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee until the earlier of (i) such time as a Distribution becomes deliverable or (ii) such undeliverable Distribution becomes an Unclaimed Distribution.

Until such time as an undeliverable Distribution becomes an Unclaimed Distribution, within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the Effective Date, or upon such other interval as the Bankruptcy Court may Order, but in no event less frequently than annually, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall make Distributions of all Cash and property that has become deliverable during the preceding quarter.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 59 of 137

The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall make reasonable efforts to update or correct contact information for recipients of undeliverable Distributions; provided, however, nothing contained in the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement shall require the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest.

L.	Unclaimed Distributions

Any Cash or other property to be Distributed under the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement shall revert to the DNIB Liquidation Trust or the Debtors, as applicable, if it is not claimed by the Entity on or before the Unclaimed Distribution Deadline. If such Cash or other property is not claimed on or before the Unclaimed Distribution Deadline, the Distribution made to such Entity shall be deemed to be reduced to zero. Any Distribution that remains unclaimed ninety (90) days after the final Distribution is made shall be paid to a 501(c)(3) charity, such as the American Bankruptcy Institute.

M.	*De Minimis* Distributions

The Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee shall not distribute cash to the Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest in an Impaired Class if the amount of Cash to be distributed on account of such Claim is less than $5.00 in the aggregate. Any holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Equity Interest on account of which the amount of Cash to be distributed is less than $5.00 in the aggregate will be forever barred from asserting it’s claim for such distribution against the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee or its property. Any Cash not distributed pursuant to this Article X of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement will be the property of the Estates or the DNIB Liquidating Trust.

N.	Setoff

The Debtors or the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, retain the right to reduce any Claim by way of setoff in accordance with their books and records.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 60 of 137

O.	Allocation of Distributions Between Principal and Interest

For Distributions in respect of Allowed Claims, to the extent that any such Allowed Claim entitled to a Distribution under the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement is comprised of indebtedness and accrued but unpaid interest thereon, such Distribution shall be allocated to the principal amount (as determined for federal income tax purposes) of the Claim first, and then to accrued but unpaid interest.

XI. IMPLEMENTATION AND EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF COMBINED PLAN AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

A.	Means for Implementation of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement

In addition to the provisions set forth elsewhere in the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the following shall constitute the means for implementation of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement:

1. Limited Substantive Consolidation. The Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement provides for the limited substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ Estates, but solely for the purposes of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, including making any Distributions to Holders of Claims. The Debtors propose limited substantive consolidation to avoid the inefficiency of proposing Entity-specific Claims for which there would be no impact on Distributions. On the Effective Date, (i) all assets and liabilities of the Debtors will, solely for Distribution purposes, be treated as if they were merged, (ii) each Claim against the Debtors will be deemed a single Claim against and a single obligation of the Debtors, (iii) any Claims filed or to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases will be deemed single Claims against both of the Debtors, (iv) all guarantees of either Debtor of the payment, performance, or collection of obligations of the other Debtor shall be eliminated and canceled, (v) all transfers, disbursements and Distributions on account of Claims made by or on behalf of any of the Debtors’ Estates hereunder will be

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 61 of 137

deemed to be made by or on behalf of all of the Debtors’ Estates, and (vi) any obligation of the Debtors as to Claims will be deemed to be one obligation of both of the Debtors. Holders of Allowed Claims or Allowed Equity Interests entitled to Distributions under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement shall be entitled to their share of assets available for Distribution to such Claim without regard to which Debtor was originally liable for such Claim. Except as set forth herein, such limited substantive consolidation shall not (other than for purposes related to this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement) affect the legal and corporate structures of the Debtors.

The Debtors propose limited substantive consolidation to avoid the inefficiency of proposing Entity-specific Claims for which there would be no impact on Distributions. Such limited substantive consolidation has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court under similar circumstances. See, e.g., In re Accuride Corp., No. 09-13449(BLS), 2010 WL 5093173, at * 10 (Bankr. D. Del. Feb. 18, 2010); In re Kaiser Aluminum Corp., No. 02-10429(JKF), 2006 WL 616243, at *22 (Bankr. D. Del. Feb. 6, 2006).

2. Funding of Liabilities and Distributions. Distributions on account of Allowed Claims and Allowed Equity Interests and any Wind-Down Expenses shall be paid from: (a) Cash held by the Debtors as of the Effective Date, and (b) Cash proceeds obtained after the Effective Date, if any, from all sources, including the liquidation and collection of the Debtors’ remaining assets.

3. Corporate Action; Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions. On the Effective Date, all matters and actions provided for under the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement that would otherwise require approval of the directors and officers of the Debtors shall be deemed to have been authorized and effective in all respects as provided herein and shall be

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 62 of 137

taken without any requirement for further action by the directors and officers of the Debtors. The Debtors, the Post-Effective Date Debtors or the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee, as applicable, are authorized to execute, deliver, file or record such contracts, instruments, releases and other agreements or documents and to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

XII. EXCULPATION, RELEASES AND INJUNCTIONS

A. Exculpation. The Debtors, and any of their respective current and/or post-Petition Date and pre-Effective Date Related Persons, shall not have or incur any liability for any act or omission taken or not taken in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation and Filing of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the settlement of Claims or renegotiation of Executory Contracts and leases, the pursuit of confirmation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the consummation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, or the administration of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement or the property to be Distributed under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, except for their willful misconduct or gross negligence or any obligations that they have under or in connection with this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement or the transactions contemplated in this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. Nothing herein shall prevent any exculpated party from asserting as a defense to any claim of willful misconduct or gross negligence that they reasonably relied upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities under the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement or otherwise.

B. Releases By the Debtors. Effective as of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, the Debtors and each of the Debtors’

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 63 of 137

successors and assigns, shall be deemed to, completely, conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever release, waive, void, extinguish and discharge each of the Debtors’ Related Persons from any claim, Claim, Cause of Action, obligation, suit, judgment, damages, debt, right, remedy or liability, for any act or omission (i) that took place prior to the Petition Date relating to and/or in connection with any of the Debtors, and (ii) in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation and Filing of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the settlement of Claims or renegotiation of Executory Contracts and leases, the pursuit of confirmation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the consummation of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, or the administration of this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement or the property to be distributed under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

C. Injunctions Relating to Releases. Effective as of the Effective Date, all Persons that hold, have held or may hold a claim, Claim, Cause of Action, obligation, suit, judgment, damages, debt, right, remedy or liability of any nature whatsoever, that is released pursuant to this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, shall be permanently, forever and completely stayed, restrained, prohibited, barred and enjoined from taking any of the following actions, whether directly or indirectly, derivatively or otherwise, on account of or based on the subject matter of such released claims, Claims, Causes of Action, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, debts, rights, remedies or liabilities, (i) commencing, conducting or continuing in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, action or other proceeding (including, without limitation, any judicial, arbitral, administrative or other proceeding) in any forum, (ii) enforcing, attaching (including, without limitation, any prejudgment attachment), collecting, or in any way seeking to recover any judgment, award, decree, or other order, (iii) creating, perfecting or in any way

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 64 of 137

enforcing in any matter, directly or indirectly, any lien, (iv) setting off, seeking reimbursement or contributions from, or subrogation against, or otherwise recouping in any manner, directly or indirectly, any amount against any liability or obligation owed to any Person released under this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, and (v) commencing or continuing in any manner, in any place of any judicial, arbitration or administrative proceeding in any forum, that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement or the Confirmation Order.

D. Injunctions to Protect Estate Assets. Except as expressly otherwise provided in the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, including Section XVI.D. hereof, or to the extent necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order or a separate Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Entities who have held, hold or may hold Claims against or Equity Interests in the Debtors shall be permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Post-Effective Date Debtors, the Post-confirmation Liquidating Trustee and/or the Debtors’ successors or any of their property on account of any such Claims or Equity Interests: (i) commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action, Cause of Action or other proceeding; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or Order; (iii) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any Lien; (iv) asserting a setoff (except to the extent such setoff was exercised prior to the Petition Date), right of subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any debt, liability, or obligation due to the Debtors; and (v) commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action, Cause of Action or other proceeding that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 65 of 137

XIII. EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

A.	Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts not assumed before the Effective Date, or subject to a pending motion to assume as of the Effective Date, will be deemed rejected. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an Order approving such rejection as of the Effective Date.

B.	Deadline for Filing Proofs of Claim Relating to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Rejected Pursuant to the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement

If the rejection by the Debtors of an Executory Contract pursuant to the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement gives rise to a Claim, a proof of claim must be submitted to the Balloting Agent at Prime Clerk LLC, 830 Third Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10022, by no later than twenty (20) days after service of the notice of the Effective Date. Any proofs of claim not filed and served within such time period will be forever barred from assertion against the Debtors and their Estates. Unless otherwise Ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts shall be treated as Class 3 Claims under the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract pursuant to a separate motion are subject to the Rejection Bar Date.

C.	Debtors’ Obligations Pursuant to their Corporate Charters, Bylaws or other Organizational Documents

By this Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement, the Debtors hereby assume all obligations pursuant to their corporate charters, bylaws or other organization documents to indemnify current officers, directors, agents and/or employees with respect to all present and future actions, suits and proceedings against the Debtors or such directors, officers, agents and/or employees, based upon any act or omission for or on behalf of the Debtors. All such obligations

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 66 of 137

shall not be discharged or impaired by confirmation of the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all such related pre-Petition Date obligations (including prepetition indemnification obligations and prepetition cure obligations) shall constitute Class 3 Claims, without further recourse to the assets of or Distributions from the Debtors’ Estates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all post-Petition Date indemnity obligations arising from post-Petition Date activities shall constitute Administrative Expense Claims, subject to Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code.

D.	Debtors’ Insurance Policies

Nothing in the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement and/or the Confirmation Order alters the rights and obligations of the Debtors (and their Estates) and the Debtors’ insurers (and third-party claims administrators) under the Insurance Policies or modifies the coverage or benefits provided thereunder or the terms or conditions thereof or diminishes or impairs the enforceability of the Insurance Policies.

XIV. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO AND OCCURRENCE OF CONFIRMATION

The following are conditions precedent to Confirmation that must be satisfied or waived:

(i) The Confirmation Order shall be reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Debtors; and

XVI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

A.	Books and Records

On the Effective Date, the Debtors’ remaining books and records (the “Books and Records”) shall be transferred to the Post-Effective Date Debtors.

(G) The Liquidation Trust is intended to qualify as a “liquidating trust” under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, specifically Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), and as such is a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes with the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries treated as the grantors and owners of the Liquidation Trust. In particular, as specified in Revenue Procedure 94-95, 1994-2 C.B. 684 (July 11, 1994):

The Liquidation Trust is organized for the primary purpose of liquidating the Liquidation Trust Assets, with no objective to conduct a trade or business except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trust shall not be deemed a successor of the Debtors or their Estates;

(ii)

This Agreement provides that the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries will be treated as the grantors of the Liquidation Trust and deemed owners of the Liquidation Trust Assets, and further, requires the Liquidation Trustee to file returns for the Liquidation Trust as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a);

(iii)

This Agreement provides for consistent valuations of the transferred property by the Liquidation Trustee and the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, and those valuations shall be used for all federal income tax purposes;

This Liquidation Trust contains a fixed or determinable termination date in that it will terminate as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that, the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion by a party-in-interest within the six (6) month period prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary (or at least six (6) months prior to the end of an extension period), may extend the term of the Liquidation Trust for a finite period (not to exceed an additional three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, without a favorable ruling from the IRS that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Liquidation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) if such an extension is warranted by the facts and based upon a finding that such an extension is necessary to the liquidating purpose of the Liquidation Trust, further provided adequate funding exists for such extension period as determined by the Bankruptcy Court;

(vi)

The investment powers of the Liquidation Trustee, other than those reasonably necessary to maintain the value of the Liquidation Trust Assets and to further the liquidating purpose of the Liquidation Trust, are limited to powers to invest in Permissible Investments (as defined herein); and

ARTICLE VI.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTED, CONTINGENT AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS

6.1.

Objections to Claims; Prosecution of Disputed Claims

(a) The Liquidation Trustee, on behalf of the Liquidation Trust, shall have the exclusive right to object to the allowance of any Claims in Class 3, by no later than the Claim Objection Deadline. The Liquidation Trustee shall have the right to object to the allowance of Claims with respect to which the Liquidation Trustee disputes classification, liability or allowance in whole or in part. The Liquidation Trustee shall have the authority to settle, in his sole discretion, any and all such objections to Claims such that the remaining claim amount after the settlement is less than or equal to $500,000.00; provided, however, that the Liquidation Trustee may not settle any objection to a Claim where the remaining claim amount after the settlement exceeds $500,000.00 without Bankruptcy Court approval.

6.2.

Estimation of Claims

The Liquidation Trustee may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code regardless of whether the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee previously have objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection. The Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including, without limitation, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. Subject to the provisions of Section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, the amount so estimated shall constitute the maximum allowed amount of such Claim. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum limitation on the amount of such Claim, the Liquidation Trustee may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the allowance of such Claim. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are intended to be cumulative and not necessarily exclusive of one another. Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

6.3.

Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims

(a) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Liquidation Trustee may, in his discretion, pay the undisputed portion of a Disputed Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liquidation Trustee will set aside for each Holder of a Disputed Claim such portion of Cash as may be necessary to provide required distributions if that Claim were an Allowed Claim, either based upon the amount of the Claim as filed with the Bankruptcy Court or the amount of the Claim as estimated by the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) At such time as a Disputed Claim becomes, in whole or in part an Allowed Claim, the Liquidation Trustee shall distribute to the Holder thereof the distributions, if any, to which such Holder is then entitled under the Plan or the Liquidation Trust. Such distribution, if any, will be made as soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 90 of 137

Bankruptcy Court allowing such Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order. No interest will be paid on Disputed Claims that later become Allowed or with respect to any distribution in satisfaction thereof to a Holder.

ARTICLE VII.

LIABILITY AND EXCULPATION PROVISIONS

7.1.

Standard of Liability

(a) In no event shall the Liquidation Trustee or his Professionals, Non-Professionals, Affiliates, representatives, employees, directors, officers or principals be held personally liable for any claim, expense, liability or other obligation asserted against the Liquidation Trust. The Liquidation Trustee and all of his Non-Professionals, Professionals, Affiliates, representatives, employees, directors, officers or principals shall not be liable for any negligence or any error of judgment made in good faith with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, except to the extent that the action taken or omitted to be taken by each of the same or their respective Professionals, Non-Professionals, Affiliates, representatives, employees, directors, officers or principals is determined by a Final Order to be solely due to their own respective gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or, solely in the case of the Liquidation Trustee, breach of fiduciary duty. Any act or omission taken with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.2.

Reliance by Liquidation Trustee

Except as otherwise provided herein:

(a) the Liquidation Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting upon, any resolution, certificate, statement, installment, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, or other paper or document reasonably believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) the Liquidation Trustee shall not be liable for any action reasonably taken or not taken by him in accordance with the advice of a Professional; and

(c) persons dealing with the Liquidation Trustee shall look only to the Liquidation Trust Funds to satisfy any liability incurred by the Liquidation Trustee to such person in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, and the Liquidation Trustee shall not have any personal obligation to satisfy any such liability, except to the extent that actions taken or not taken after the Effective Date by the Liquidation Trustee are determined by a Final Order to be solely due to the Liquidation Trustee’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty.

7.3.

Exculpation; Indemnification

(a) Exculpation. From and after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee, and his Professionals, Non-Professionals, Affiliates, representatives, employees, directors, officers or principals, shall be and hereby are exculpated by all Persons and Entities, including,

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 91 of 137

without limitation, Holders of Claims and other parties in interest, from any and all claims, causes of action and other assertions of liability arising out of the discharge of the powers and duties conferred upon said parties pursuant to or in furtherance of this Agreement, the Plan, or any order of the Bankruptcy Court or applicable law or otherwise, except only for actions taken or not taken, from and after the Effective Date only to the extent determined by a Final Order to be solely due to their own respective gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or, solely in the case of the Liquidation Trustee, breach of fiduciary duty.

(b) No Holder of a Claim or other party-in-interest will have or be permitted to pursue any claim or cause of action against the Liquidation Trustee or his Professionals, Non-Professionals, representatives, employees, directors, officers or principals for making payments in accordance with the Plan or this Agreement or for implementing the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement. Any act taken or not taken, in the case of the Liquidation Trustee, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, will be conclusively deemed not to constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a breach of fiduciary duty.

(c) Indemnification. The Liquidation Trust shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Liquidation Trustee, his Professionals and Non-Professionals, solely from Liquidation Trust Funds and Liquidation Trust Assets, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) occurring after the Effective Date, other than to the extent determined by a Final Order to be solely due to their own respective gross negligence, willful misconduct, or, solely in the case of the Liquidation Trustee, breach of fiduciary duty, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE VIII.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE LIQUIDATION TRUST

8.1.

Transfer of Assets to Liquidation Trust; Assumption of Liabilities

Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors and the Liquidation Trustee hereby establish the Liquidation Trust on behalf of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, to be treated as the grantors and deemed owners of the Liquidation Trust Assets and the Debtors hereby transfer, assign, and deliver to the Liquidation Trust, on behalf of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, all of their right, title, and interest in the Liquidation Trust Assets, including the related claims and Causes of Action of the Debtors, other than any claims and causes of action expressly waived, exculpated or released in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, notwithstanding any prohibition of assignability under applicable non-bankruptcy law. Such transfer includes, but is not limited to, all rights to assert, waive or otherwise exercise any attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other privilege, immunity, or confidentiality provision vested in, or controlled by, the Debtors. The Liquidation Trustee agrees to accept and hold the Liquidation Trust Assets in the Liquidation Trust for the benefit of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 92 of 137

8.2.

Title to Assets

(a) On the Effective Date, the Debtors shall transfer the Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust for the benefit of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding any prohibition of assignability under applicable non-bankruptcy law, all assets and properties encompassed by the Plan shall vest in the Liquidation Trust in accordance with Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust, the Debtors shall have no interest in or with respect to such Liquidation Trust Assets or the Liquidation Trust.

(b) For all federal income tax purposes, all Parties and Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries shall treat the transfer of the Liquidation Trust Assets by the Debtors to the Liquidation Trust, as set forth in this Article VIII and in the Plan, as a transfer of such assets by the Debtors to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries entitled to distributions under this Agreement followed by a transfer by such Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries to the Liquidation Trust. Thus, the Beneficiaries shall be treated as the grantors and owners of a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes.

8.3.

Valuation of Assets

As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee (to the extent that the Liquidation Trustee deems it necessary or appropriate in his discretion), shall value the Liquidation Trust Assets based on the good faith determination of the Liquidation Trustee. The valuation shall be used consistently by all Parties and the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries for all federal income tax purposes. The Bankruptcy Court shall resolve any dispute regarding the valuation of the Liquidation Trust Assets.

ARTICLE IX.

LIQUIDATION TRUST BENEFICIARIES

9.1.

Identification of Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries

In order to determine the actual names and addresses of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, the Liquidation Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the names and addresses set forth in the Debtors’ Schedules or filed proofs of claim or on the Debtors’ stock transfer agent. Each Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s right to distribution from the Liquidation Trust, which is dependent upon such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary’s classification under the Plan, shall be that accorded to such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary under the Plan.

ARTICLE X.

ADMINISTRATION

10.1.

Purpose of the Liquidation Trust

The Liquidation Trust shall be established for the primary purpose of liquidating its assets, in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(d), with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except to the extent reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, the liquidating purpose of the Liquidation Trust. Accordingly,

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 93 of 137

the Liquidation Trustee shall, in an expeditious but orderly manner, liquidate and convert to Cash the Liquidation Trust Assets, make timely distributions to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries and not unduly prolong its duration, and shall take or refrain from taking such other actions as may be necessary, in the Liquidation Trustee’s reasonable judgment, to preserve and maintain the status of the Liquidation Trust as a “liquidating trust” and as a “grantor trust” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation sections 301.7701-4(d) and 1.671-4(a). The Liquidation Trust shall not be deemed a successor-in-interest of the Debtors for any purpose other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

10.2.

Books and Records

The Liquidation Trustee shall maintain books and records relating to the administration of the Causes of Action and the distribution by the Liquidation Trustee of the proceeds therefrom in such detail and for such period of time as may be necessary to make full and proper accounting in respect thereof and to comply with applicable provisions of law. The Liquidation Trustee shall also maintain books and records relating to the administration of the Liquidation Trust Assets (including the Causes of Action), the income and expenses of the Liquidation Trust, and the payment of expenses of and liabilities of, claims against or assumed by, the Liquidation Trust in such detail and for such period of time as may be necessary to make full and proper accounting in respect thereof and to comply with applicable provisions of law. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, nothing in this Agreement requires the Liquidation Trustee to file any accounting or seek approval of any court with respect to the administration of the Liquidation Trust, or as a condition for making any payment or distribution out of the Liquidation Trust Assets. Subject to all applicable privileges, those Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries who hold, in the aggregate, 10% or more of the aggregate dollar value of the Allowed General Unsecured Claims or 5% or more of the total number of Allowed Equity Interests, shall have the right, in addition to any other rights they may have pursuant to this Agreement, under the Plan or otherwise, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Liquidation Trustee, to request a reasonable inspection of the books and records held by the Liquidation Trustee, provided that, all costs associated with such inspection shall be paid in advance by such requesting Liquidation Trust Beneficiary, and further, if so requested, such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Liquidation Trustee, and make such other arrangements as may be reasonably requested by the Liquidation Trustee.

10.3.

Compliance with Laws

Any and all distributions of Liquidation Trust Assets shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, applicable federal and state tax and securities laws.

ARTICLE XI.

SUCCESSOR LIQUIDATION TRUSTEE

11.1.

Successor Liquidation Trustee

In the event the Liquidation Trustee is removed by the Bankruptcy Court, resigns pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise vacates his position, a successor Liquidation Trustee shall be appointed subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. If a successor Liquidation Trustee is not so appointed, then the Bankruptcy Court shall appoint a successor in accordance with the best interests of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries. Any successor Liquidation Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute an instrument accepting such appointment. Thereupon, such successor Liquidation Trustee shall, without any further act, become vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts and duties of his/her predecessor in the Liquidation Trust with like effect as if originally named herein; provided, however, that a removed or resigning Liquidation Trustee shall, nevertheless, when requested in writing by the successor Liquidation Trustee, execute and deliver any reasonable instrument or instruments conveying and transferring to such successor Liquidation Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers, and trusts of such removed or resigning Liquidation Trustee.

ARTICLE XII.

DISPUTED CLAIMS RESERVE

12.1.

Disputed Claims Reserve

The Liquidation Trustee shall maintain a reserve for any distributable amounts required to be set aside on account of Disputed Claims and shall distribute such amounts (net of any expenses, including any taxes relating thereto), as provided in the Plan and in this Agreement, as such Disputed Claims are resolved by Final Order, and such amounts shall be distributable in respect of such Disputed Claims as such amounts would have been distributable had the Disputed Claims been Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date.

ARTICLE XIII.

REPORTING

13.1.

Annual and Final Reports

As soon as practicable after the end of each calendar year, and as soon as practicable upon termination of the Liquidation Trust, the Liquidation Trustee shall submit to the Bankruptcy Court a written report including (i) financial statements of the Liquidation Trust at the end of that calendar year or period, and (ii) the receipts and disbursements of the Liquidation Trustee for such period.

13.2.

Federal Income Tax

(a) Grantor Trust Status. Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary (including the issuance of applicable Treasury Regulations, the receipt by the Liquidation Trustee of a private letter ruling if the Liquidation

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 95 of 137

Trustee so requests one, or the receipt of an adverse determination by the IRS upon audit if not contested by the Liquidation Trustee), the Liquidation Trustee shall file tax returns for the Liquidation Trustee as a grantor trust pursuant to Treasury Regulation section 1.671-4(a).

(b) Allocations of Liquidation Trust Taxable Income. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.2(a) hereof, allocations of Liquidation Trust taxable income shall be determined by reference to the manner in which an amount of cash equal to such taxable income would be distributed (without regard to any restriction on distributions described herein) if, immediately prior to such deemed distribution, the Liquidation Trust had distributed all of its other assets (valued for this purpose at their tax book value) to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries (treating any Holder of a Disputed Claim, for this purpose, as a current Liquidation Trust Beneficiary entitled to distributions), taking into account all prior and concurrent distributions from the Liquidation Trust (including any distributions held in reserve pending the resolution of Disputed Claims). Similarly, taxable losses of the Liquidation Trust will be allocated by reference to the manner in which an economic loss would be borne immediately after a liquidating distribution of the remaining Liquidation Trust Assets. The tax book value of the Liquidation Trust Assets for this purpose shall equal their fair market value on the Effective Date or, if later, the date such assets were acquired by the Liquidation Trust, adjusted in either case in accordance with tax accounting principles prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Code, the Treasury Regulations and any other applicable administrative and judicial authorities and pronouncements.

(c) Tax Reporting Duties of Liquidating Trustee. Within sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar year, the Liquidating Trustee shall prepare and distribute a statement setting forth the information necessary for each Liquidating Trust Beneficiary to determine its share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for United States federal income tax purposes.

13.3.

Other

The Liquidation Trustee shall file (or cause to be filed) any other statement, returns or disclosures relating to the Liquidation Trust or the Liquidation Trust Assets, that are required by the IRS or any other Governmental Unit.

ARTICLE XIV.

TRANSFER OF LIQUIDATION TRUST BENEFICIARIES’ INTERESTS

14.1.

Transfer of Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries’ Interests

The beneficial interests that are owned by the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries shall not be certificated. The interest of a Liquidation Trust Beneficiary shall be freely transferable by such Liquidation Trust Beneficiary; provided, however, that any transfer by a Liquidation Trust Beneficiary to another party will not be effective until and unless (i) the Liquidation Trustee receives written notice of such transfer executed by the appropriate party, (ii) the proposed transfer complies with all applicable securities laws, and (iii) the Liquidation Trustee receives any tax information reasonably requested by the Liquidation Trustee (including, without limitation, IRS Forms W-8 or W-9) from the transferee and from the transferor. In the

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 96 of 137

case of a deceased individual Liquidation Trust Beneficiary, his or her executor or administrator shall succeed to such decedent’s interests. The Liquidation Trustee shall not be required to record any transfer in favor of any transferee which, in the sole discretion of the Liquidation Trustee, is or might be construed to be ambiguous or to create uncertainty as to the holder of the interest in the Liquidation Trust. Until a transfer is in fact recorded on the books and records maintained by the Liquidation Trustee for the purpose of identifying Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, the Liquidation Trustee, whether or not in receipt of documents of transfer or other documents relating to the transfer, may nevertheless make distributions and send communications to Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, as though he has no notice of any such transfer, and in so doing the Liquidation Trustee shall be fully protected and incur no liability to any purported transferee or any other Entity.

ARTICLE XV.

LIQUIDATION TRUSTEE PROFESSIONALS

AND NON-PROFESSIONALS

15.1.

Retention of Liquidation Trustee Professionals and Non-Professionals

The Liquidation Trustee Professionals shall be compensated in accordance with Article 15.2 hereof. The Liquidation Trustee Professionals so retained need not be “disinterested” as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code and may include, without limitation, counsel and financial advisors of the Debtors.

(b) The Liquidation Trustee shall have the right to retain non-professionals including, without limitation, employees, independent contractors or other agents as the Liquidation Trustee deems appropriate (the “Liquidation Trustee Non-Professionals”) and on such terms as the Liquidation Trustee deems appropriate. Such Liquidation Trustee Non-Professionals shall be compensated in accordance with Article 15.2 hereof. The Liquidation Trustee Non-Professionals so retained need not be “disinterested” as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code and may include, without limitation, employees, independent contractors or agents of the Debtors.

15.2.

Payment to Liquidation Trustee Professionals and Non-Professionals

(a) After the Effective Date, Liquidation Trustee Professionals shall be required to submit reasonably detailed invoices on a monthly basis to the Liquidation Trustee, including in such invoices a description of the work performed, who performed such work, and if billing on an hourly basis, the hourly rate of each such person, plus an itemized statement of expenses. The Liquidation Trustee shall pay those invoices ten (10) days after a copy of such invoices is provided to the Liquidation Trustee, without Bankruptcy Court approval, unless the Liquidation Trustee objects. If there is a dispute as to a part of an invoice, the Liquidation Trustee shall pay the undisputed portion and the Bankruptcy Court shall resolve any disputed amount.

Case 16-11084-BLS Doc 457-1 Filed 09/26/16 Page 97 of 137

(b) After the Effective Date, Liquidation Trustee Non-Professionals shall be required to submit to the Liquidation Trustee periodic invoices containing information with sufficient detail to assess the reasonableness of the fees and charges. The Liquidation Trustee shall pay those invoices ten (10) days after a copy of such invoices is provided to the Liquidation Trustee, without Bankruptcy Court approval, unless the Liquidation Trustee objects. If there is a dispute as to a part of an invoice, the Liquidation Trustee shall pay the undisputed portion and the Bankruptcy Court shall resolve any disputed amount.

(c) All payments to Liquidation Trustee Professionals and Liquidation Trustee Non-Professionals shall be paid out of the Liquidation Trustee Funds.

ARTICLE XVI.

TERMINATION OF LIQUIDATION TRUST

16.1.

Duration and Extension

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Liquidation Trust will terminate as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that, the Bankruptcy Court, upon motion by a party-in-interest within the six (6) month period prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary (or at least six (6) months prior to the end of an extension period), may extend the term of the Liquidation Trust for a finite period (not to exceed an additional three (3) years, together with any prior extensions, without a favorable ruling from the IRS that any further extension would not adversely affect the status of the Liquidation Trust as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes) if such an extension is warranted by the facts and based upon a finding that such an extension is necessary to the liquidating purpose of the Liquidation Trust, further provided adequate funding exists for such extension period as determined by the Bankruptcy Court.

Diligent Administration

The Liquidation Trustee shall, as applicable, (i) not unduly prolong the duration of the Liquidation Trust; (ii) at all times endeavor to resolve, settle or otherwise dispose of all claims that constitute Liquidation Trust Assets; (iii) effect the liquidation and distribution of the Liquidation Trust Assets to the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries in accordance with the terms hereof, and; (iv) endeavor to terminate the Liquidation Trust as soon as reasonably practicable.
